Every year, we eagerly wait to welcome Ganpati Bappa into our home with immense joy and devotion. I still remember those beautiful childhood days when I would wake up early, wear new clothes, and help my parents with the decorations.
” He further said, “The house used to be filled with the divine aroma of incense and the sweet fragrance of modaks, which my mom always makes with lots of love. We use to gather around Bappa, sing aartis together, and pray for his blessings. These moments have taught me the value of faith, family, and togetherness.
Whenever Bappa came home, he brought a sense of positivity and it felt like reliving those cherished memories. May Ganpati Bappa bless everyone .
